You won't regret the dual 570s. I have been using that setup for over a year and they decimate all in their path. Your Sandy Bridge-E should also provide a nice boost!

All installed, threw in a 1TB slave for good measure. Will post some case shots tomorrow.

Zip ties and twist ties are you best friend here. Those little popped up slats of metal and those double square holes with the piece of metal between them? Those are tie downs for zip ties and twist ties (your case or Mobo should have come with some zips). If there are holes in the case back plate (what the Mobo is screwed into) near the top, try to get any cables that are going near there on the Mobo to go through there, and the same for any wires going from the back to the front.
Use the zip ties on the back of the case back plate (opposite side of the mobo) to use the zip ties the most, so that cables don't stick out or move when you try to put the side back on or take it off.
Any unused cables from your Power Supply, zip tie them all together in a bundle so you set them neatly down on the bottom.
Also, is there a hole or grate under where the Power Supply is? Because if there is, you probably have it upside down. If you flip it over, it will be sucking in cool air instead of the already hot case air. Will give your Power Supply more life.Last edited by DancingCorpse; 03-23-12 at 11:45 PM.
